Messiah, composed in 1741 by George Frideric Handel, with a scriptural text compiled by Charles Jennens from the King James Bible, and from the version of the Psalms included with the Book of Common Prayer.
It was first performed in Dublin on 13 April 1742 and received its London premiere nearly a year later.
After an initially modest public reception, the oratorio gained in popularity, eventually becoming one of the best-known and most frequently performed choral works in Western music. ( From Wikipedia)

I am a pastor of a Southern Baptist Church. My wife and I are empty nesters, having raised our four children, two boys and two girls. We are born again Christians, and believe the Bible is our road map for life, and God's manual for our earthly journey. Philippians 1:21 "To live is Christ, to die is gain."
